I had the same problem as @hxy: Since some time ago (not sure if it depends on kernel version or some change in this package), I couldn't use the keyboard at all during the root partition decryption phase. Doesn't matter if using systemd initramfs or not, and order of hooks also didn't matter. Took me a while to figure out it was this package and not something else.
To resolve this, I had to add hid_apple to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (and regenerate initramfs).

After installing this package on my MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013), I was unable to use the MacBook keyboard at the boot prompt to decrypt my root partition.
To resolve this, I had to add hid_apple to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (and regenerate initramfs).

Package has been updated for Bluetooth support and latest firmware. Reinstalling will pull latest version even if the AUR version string doesn't change.
Please note you may need to run this after upgrade:
sudo mkinitcpio -P all

@jmt The patch indeed looks related. There are also other users experiencing similar issues, see
https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched/issues/48 https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched/issues/49
I'm not familiar with the code myself, but I posted your comment to upstream. Let's hope they can find a solution.

Has anyone else had issues with this on Linux 5.x? After I upgraded my kernel to 5.2, whenever I connected my Apple Magic keyboard over bluetooth, the hid-generic driver was being used and not the hid_apple module. Once I uninstalled this package the correct driver was being used. I wonder if this patch has a conflict with this package?

Note that I do not have a "The Arch Way" installed kernel (I currently use Manjaro), so maybe this comment should be deleted :).

Thanks, that worked for me

Yes, simply uninstall the package and the system will revert to use original kernel module.

Hi, it can be an easy question, but is there an easy way to uninstall this package and revert all changes to keyboard settings? I'm configuring mac and tried if that fits me or not.

Had to run sudo mkinitcpio -p linux414 in order to get it working permanently.
